Potentially could be used for things like spreading flame-retardent powder for putting out a wildfire or similar with more precision. Would also remove the risk of a human life in firefighting so areas might be cleared quicker.

I don’t see a lot of info on payload in that article. Forest fires are big. You’d need an enormous fleet of drones to be effective.

I can contribute that the goal with the drones is to help contain small fires before they spread - they aren’t there to stop the fires, just slow them down until humans can get there with the serious equipment.
